When all you want is a calm and nice flight to finish your book or enjoy a nap in the air, but then your seatmate plans other things… You can follow this expert advice:

According to the Emily Post Institute, if you don’t like your environment, simply create a new one. Arm yourself with earplugs to ban unwanted conversations, an eyeshade to nap peacefully, and headphones to enjoy some music or watch a movie.

If you do all this and the stranger next to you still wouldn’t stop talking to you, just smile and say this “It’s been really nice chatting with you. I’m going to read/nap for a bit now.” (If this didn’t work as well, you probably should ask the flight attendant for help.)
